Shaun Ellis, a Jets defensive end, was stopped by police in NJ last weekend and eventually charged with "possession of marijuana, driving without insurance and speeding after a highway traffic stop." Ellis was stopped because he, as the Daily Record reports, "allegedly approached a police car from behind at high speed on Route 287 south, pulled even and briefly slowed down, then passed the police car and exited onto Route 24." When the cop pulled him over, Ellis was "uncooperative" and eventually some pot was found in the car. Ellis, who is expected to play on Sunday, issued a statement, "I apologize to my family, the fans and the organization. As a captain, I set a poor example for my teammates as well as all NFL players. Although this is a pending legal matter, I understand that I have to be responsible for my actions." Well, it's not shooting yourself in the leg, is it?

Maybe the Jets shouldn't have been underdogs against the Dolphins, but no one figured they'd roll as easily as they did in their 40-13 win in Miami on Sunday.

That score clinched Buffalo's 13-3 win in the Meadowlands on Sunday. The Jets have now lost twice to the Bills and have fallen to 1-7. Their only win came against the Dolphins, but the NFL will still insist that it counts.

With no time to celebrate last week's upset over the Patriots, the Jets took the field Sunday against the NFC's best and spun their wheels. Their defense held the Bears' offense in check, but an impotent offense and questionable coaching decisions cost the Jets a shot at defending their home turf. At 5-5, the Jets are once again at .500. Looking for good news? Their schedule only gets easier from here.
